This deal makes a lot of sense and seems realistic. The Cubs need a second baseman, Mets definitely need a pitcher and Rangers would love to have Bradley back at DH. Rangers dumping Millwood helps them afford Bradley at a discount.According to Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune, the Cubs, Mets and Rangers have discussed a deal that would land Milton Bradley in Texas.
The Mets would send Luis Castillo to the Cubs, Kevin Millwood would head to New York, and cash would be paid to the Rangers to cover some of the two years, $21 million remaining on Bradley's contract. We've heard similar rumors before and the amount of moving parts make it difficult to take too seriously. That said, it does make some sense. Stay tuned.
